A big -1 on this.

If you want to roll your own template syntax, just do so. It's not
that hard to run a quick str_replace('<?@', '<?php echo $this->',
$code) over the template.

Especially consider that @ is already used for error suppression, so
code that previously just wanted to suppress some errors will suddenly
try to call class methods (which obviously will lead to fatal errors).
